Decision outlook
Plota predicted a decision around 9 Oct 2026; it is now day 74.
Day 74, past the statutory target. 81% of full applications in Braintree are decided within thirteen weeks, which runs to 26 Oct 2026; extensions of time are common, and the council need not decide on the day. Last seen undecided on 24 Aug 2026.
Plota live figures for full applications decided across the UK in the last twelve months, from validation; too few recent full applications in Braintree to go on. Braintree decision record →
Site constraints 3
Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
